This is how an epic of epic monster movies should be made

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2013)

A perfect 10. I don't care what other people say. This review contains some spoilers, as I reveal the movie's blockbuster features. This is how an epic of epic monster movies should be made. Jam-packed with almost everything in epic blockbusters. Hunk lead star. Check. Death in family. Check. Hot action chick. Check. Hero Come back. Check. Hero rivalry. Check. Comic relief. Check. Gigantic Robots. Check. Gigantic Alien Monsters. Triple Check (They have a whole army of those on the other side). A bit campy but perfectly placed drama. Check. Moderate use of shaky cam as needed (only in intances as shown from news media cam)(ton of pun intended on the movie this one has run over specifically Cloverfield). Check. End of the world as we know it. Double Check. Humans always win. Triple Check. Tons of explosive stuff. A million Checks. Sci-Fi FX at it's peak. Gazillion Checks. Okay, maybe some of the scientific stuff in this could be hogwash, ask Michio Kaku, but who cares, right? It's a "Sci-Fi Fantasy" movie! Who cares! Pacific Rim delivers the epic of epics no other blockbuster has achieved. The robots in this movie makes "Transformers" look like kindergarten kids sucking on a lollipop. Exponential city destruction that stomps all of the "Godzilla" movies, western and eastern combined. Fresh talent uprising. I know some of these new talents, but this will surely propel them to the top further than they have dreamed of. Huge bases that makes G.I. Joe a joke. Idris Elba, you nailed it. Ron Perlman, you never seize to amaze me. Guillermo del Toro has broken every disaster movie ever created (because I know there will be more from where this came from). The size of these robots and monsters makes the Mythology Titans and Greek God movies like an ugly spasm. This movie has gobbled up every alien invasion movie ever made like they were marsh mallows. Avengers was awesome yeah, but the aliens here makes them look like a bunch of girl scouts trick or treating. Now the movies "Pacific Rim" has run over aren't bad, they are blockbusters and epics too in their own right and in their own time. But, like I said, Pacific Rim has run over them like they were ants. Now for the final blow. This goes out to the makers of the movie "Cloverfield" in 2006. Listen up. This is how an epic monster movie should always be made. Not told from the point of view of a small group of stupid kids. Oh sorry, they weren't supposed to be kids. Yeah, but they sure looked like a bunch of stupid kids to me. Told from a point of view of a shaky cam found footage? Are you kidding me? With all the hype you guys marketed Cloverfield, it just didn't justify the hype. If you're gonna make a Cloverfield sequel (I know you are), make sure you won't fall flat from our expectations. Do it right next time. We're watching you. Movie goers, learn from this movie. Don't get ripped off by others. This is how an epic of epic monster movie should always be made. Now I would be outraged if Pacific Rim won't win a ton of awards for its awesomeness. To me you are on the top of every epic movie ever made. Till your next epic, Guillermo. A Pacific Rim sequel? You're the man! Nuff said.
